Luka 7:28

We are joint-heirs with Christ. This is an awesome blessing! If you are doubtful and still need convincing, or if you are wavering and need some reminding, this 4-day reading plan is for you.

If you've said recently, "I'm so over this - get me out of here!", you're not alone. We often end up where we never planned to be, feeling isolated and discouraged. Throughout the Bible, men and women end up in a place they didn't choose. Yet, some amazing stories happened in those wilderness moments, and yours just might be next!

Throughout the New Testament, Jesus shows compassion toward unlikely “sinners” who expressed great faith. Whether tax collectors, Roman centurions, or Samaritan women, Jesus repeatedly shows that he came to rescue people burdened with shame. During this plan, Bible teacher and author Kat Armstrong illustrates how these stories strengthen our understanding of God’s empathy and knowledge of how all types of people express beautiful faith in Jesus.

The passage of Matthew 11 with its gospel parallels demonstrates an active interplay between the wise of the world and the wise in God’s kingdom. The ongoing crossfires and cross purposes create confusion and conflict. However, every time it’s true wisdom, God’s wisdom that prevails and the truly great, even though they may often go unnoticed, are those who are truly wise.
